i never got to see many american broadcasters, feel like i've missed out! see marv albert now and again, but thats about it! do you think the t-wolves will change around again? or maybe change their franchise player? i remember jason kidd saying he wanted to play with kg, maybe KG for vince? could happen.
yeah mark webster was the guy, hes still doing it, but for channel 5. we get one game... a week!!!!!! ridiculous.
Not sure about KG for Vince. Carter's work ethic and leadership are not close to KG's.
I get 2 games a week if im lucky on ESPN, for some reason they seem to think i'd rather watch Poker and Juggling.
If i could have a fantasy trade for the Lakers i would swap Brian Cook and Brian Grant for a banger like Nene or Boozer. I'd happily say goodbye to George and Butler for Joe Johnson. Kobe could stay if he plays team ball (ha ha) if not he can go and i'd take Nash and Redd (ok im reaching on that one but it is a fantasy draft).
yuck!!!...what a shitty game!!....actually it was a very good game until sheed was taken out for his 4th foul, right after that the spurs and duncan had a field day....if detriot is gonna win the next game there gonna have to to these things
1. keep sheed on the floor (thats a no brainer)
2.drive to the basket more(they had open lanes numerious times but settled on jump shots that missed, the only one who gets to do that is rip)
3. slow the tempo down, they tried to run and gun with the spurs, but they are so much better win they have a half court offense
4. tayshaun needs to be more productive (he had a bad night, but i don't think that will happen again, atleast i hope not)
thats just my take on what they need to to, and i have all the faith in the world larry brown, or what i like to call him, larry bizzle dizzle (actually i just made that name up right here on the spot) will make the appropiate changes so detriot can spit the series

...i have a problem with the fair-weather laker fans and the dumbass celebrities you only see at the game when the lakers are winning,e
No kidding. I also hate seeing Jack **** head Nicholson out there all the time yelling and screaming and talking to the refs like he actually has some clout when it comes to basketball.
kg for vince could happen, if kg decides to call it time you never know. you know he'll go somewhere where he knows players will want to play.
havent seen game one, but it sounds like detroit were still tired from the series before. normally hearing teams settling for jump shots is an idication of it anyways. look for a more involved game two, should be a bit closer

Agree with all of that. The Pistons really seemed to lose their way after starting so well. The Spurs warmed up no doubt but the Pistons went away from what kept them in the game early, getting the ball down low. Billups and Rip are a great back court but they hoisted up far to many shots in the second half without going inside first. Sheed started well and had a couple of nice buckets over Duncan, i really hope they stick with that because if they can get Duncan in foul trouble then they can steal this one. Maybe the Pistons were tired late in the game i dont know, but they have got to shut down the lanes. Ginobli was able to go anywhere he wanted and that cant happen if the Pistons want to compete. I thought Prince would be perfect on Ginobli because of his length and the fact he is a lefty to, but Ginobli blew past him every time (going left i might add). The Spurs dont really need to change much but they will have to be aware the Pistons are gonna come out fired up. I think its really important for the Pistons to win this one because the Spurs will have no trouble wining in Detroit.
On a side note, after talking last week about Hubie Brown i was stoked to hear him commentating on the last game. If you want to listen to someone who knows the game inside out listen to this guy - genius.
